- When in doubt, save money / do the cheaper thing (mostly for consumption, vacation planning)

- Say yes (for activities with friends / colleagues; cf. "The Yes Man" with Jim Carrey)

And if you say no, make plans for next time. As a Gen Z I’ve noticed a lot of people my age will always decline, never take initiative in making plans, then wonder why nobody hangs out with them.

I’ve started using what I call the ‘two strikes rule.’ If I make two attempts to invite someone out and they’re declined without reciprocative energy, I give up on maintaining the relationship. Same with conversations. I’m tired of dealing with social vampires.
